Wiki Band Composition Page

Here are the ground rules to keep us all on the same page:

1. For this project, we will be using Sibelius 4.0 exclusively. Although I use Finale frequently and think it’s a great application, I decided on Sibelius 4.0. If you have an earlier version of Sibelius, you won’t be able to participate. Sorry.
2. This piece should not be through-composed. In order to keep things on track, let’s use a standard A - B - A form. Please be mindful of form and the thematic material that has come before.
3. While there is no limit to the length of the piece, it should be appropriate for a middle school band.
4. You may add 8 measures at a time, but you must wait until someone else has added to the composition before adding additional measures.
5. You can add less than 8 measure, or even a few bars of one instrument if you’d like.  Don’t feel that you need to compose 8 full measures - especially if you having students participate.
6. You may always edit any of the material in the previous measures, though you are not required to.
7. You must sign your name in boxed text above the measures you composed.
8. The finished piece will not be published through a traditional outlet. It will only be available for free on this site. No commercial gain shall be received by any of the composers involved.

Composition

I am pleased to announce that we have had 3 new editors join the Wiki Collaborative Composition Project.  I have posted one version created by a student named Tobias.  Download wiki_comp_v2_Tobias to hear what he has done.  I will try to combine the other two versions submitted by Julia and Daibes into a v3 in the very near future.  In the meantime, great job Tobias, Julia & Daibes!
